While I will always be a Demons supporter through and through, I have watched more non-MFC games this season than I ever have before. I've come to enjoy watching many non-Demon players and marvel at their skills. Who is your favourite non-MFC player to watch? Are there any names you can think of that should be added to the list? Why do you like watching these players?

    it's to depressing watching 2 sides play well at the moment...i prefer to watch movies inbetween Demons Thrashings at present.

    It's hard not to be impressed by Gary Ablett. We knew he was good at Geelong, but after his move to the Suns, without the supporting cast he had at the Cats, I think he's shown how great he really is.

    Luke Hudge is another I like to watch, although he hasn't been out on the park much this season.

    Most definitely Ablett. In awe of his ability to win the ball and accelerate out of trouble. Gut runs as well.

    Pendlebury also makes things look very easy while agree with someone above and enjoy the way Hodge goes about it.

    Franklin of the current players. Too fast, too tall, too strong and too freaky for any one player.

    Ablett Snr and Carey of the older set.

    Also saw the tail end of Hudson. Was unstoppable

    Pendles and he is exactly what we need, shame he signed earlier this year... Don't know why but I had some hope we were going to throw massive cash at him and maybe snare him, both our on field and off field dramas think quashed this pretty quickly

    Bartel & Hodge for mine. Love watching Ablett, Franklin & Rioli's freakish skills, but love the hardness of Bartel & Hodge and their abilties to just get the job done when it matters. I'm hoping Trengove is another player in their mould.

    I'm with you, especially Luke Hodge - monstrous competitive spirit. No quarter asked, none given.

    Bartel for me, tough, takes good grabs and kicks goals

    Also like watching Judd and Ablett

    Dont rate Pendles as much as most

    I must admit wyl I am similar.

    However I have signed on mentally as a Hawks follower.

    I might even squeeze in a live game in the next few weeks

    Not sure if they are playing on our bye weekend but that might be it

    PS just checked they play the Lions on our week off that will be a slaughter so maybe not

    Patrick Dangerfield.

    And we could have had him with pick #4 2007. :unsure:

    We would have probably turned him into a dud by now

    Hayes, Ablett, Hodge for mine.

  • Quote

    In terms of skill when Buddy is on fire he is incredibly exciting. Reminds me of what Ablett Snr. and Carey used to do in terms of becoming the sole focus of a game.

    For endeavor I love Ablett Jnr, Bartel, and this year Lenny Hayes.

    I also love to see the mature aged recruits do well. It's good for the game and flies in the face of some of the over thinking that goes into player development. Some blokes just have the desire. Pods, Tory Dixon, our very own Mitsubishi.

    After watching the game tonight, I had to put Stevie J in. I should have done so earlier but completely forgot about him for some reason.

    By popular demand, Luke Hodge's name has been added.

    Paul Chapman. Tough, uncompromising and brilliant. Love to have him in our side. Goal sense is fantastic. Ablett and Judd also great to watch.

    P.S. Just read that Chapman played with Melbourne reserves before he was drafted in 1999. A big fish who got away. We had him and let him go.

    No love for Patty D?

    Ablett is probably the best foodballer ever?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
